Kontron COMs Withstand Heat and Harsh Environments

From Kontron USA

Today's embedded system applications are expected to operate efficiently and reliably in a variety of environments in offices, factories, hospitals, and under harsh conditions that include industrial control, military, and transportation applications.

For reliable operation and a long lifetime, it is important to keep the operating temperatures of computer boards and their components as low as possible. Depending on the amount of thermal energy the components dissipate and the environmental conditions they operate in, customized cooling approaches are needed.
